there were cheap guns made in Belgium that were labeled "Parker" to trade off the name.
and there were a couple gunmakers in England that honestly had the name Parker- these are not cheap knock offs, but often guns of modest quality- they are just not American made Parker Brothers shotgun. Your gun is one of these English made guns-
IF the barrels are solid - no pits and never honed, it may be restorable but restoration would be based on sentimental value - there would be no financial justification.
